Review of 'Pueblo Andaluz'
07 October 2006
We recently returned from the Pueblo Andaluz having chosen the hotel from the brief descriptions provided on the web site.
We were more than pleased with the standard of accommodation and facilities available.
The Hotel is set on a large low level site, none of the rooms more than two storeys high, with the entertainment area and two pools separated by a small access road opposite the reception area. The rooms are set around several courtyards and squares which are festooned with bougainvillea and frangipani plants, together with orange and lemon trees. The whole hotel, including the outside areas was beautifully clean and well presented. The hotel site resembles a Spanish village, which none of the descriptions on the net represented. The reception area had fresh fruit and a dish of sweets, which you could help yourself to at any time. How many other hotels do that?
The Reception staff were very helpful and tried their best to assist with anything we asked them. The outside eating area where we took most of our meals was a welcome change from the dining facilities at the usual corporate type hotels. We found all of the food to be most acceptable, and plentiful.
We had a room that was on the second floor and we have to say that the steps would definitely be difficult for an older person. Having said that, If you mention that you need a ground floor room there should be no problem. Our room had air conditioning and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom in our room was huge with a large corner shower (no bath. There was adequate storage in the rooms, and the furnishings appeared to be new. Although we had a large balcony there was no outside furniture, as our room overlooked the road and pool that didn't really bother us, and there are extensive grounds to sit in.
The proximity of the N340 road is close to the pool area but we didn't find it a problem, and there is a beautiful view of the mountains behind the road.
There were very few English people in the hotel, but we were made welcome by the mainly French clientele. The entertainment crew were enthusiastic, and there was a large programme of activities and shows. There was no pressure to join in, but we were made welcome when we did. There was no English entertainment at the Pueblo Andaluz.
